Church Planting/ESL Outreach – Thailand

Extended Term/Career missionaries needed to develop the Free Methodist Church in Thailand. Several regions provide options among different people groups and religions. Could be based in Bangkok, or in the south. Ministry experience preferred, as well as a certain call to help people find Jesus in Asia. (Four to six individuals needed.)

The majority of Thailand lies within mainland South East Asia and is approximately 1100 miles from north to south and 500 miles from east to west. Thailand is predominately mountainous with the majority of people living in the central flatter areas. Bangkok is the capitol and largest city. The prevailing religion is Buddhism. Only .5% of the people in Thailand are evangelical Christians. The Free Methodist Church began work in Thailand in 2000 and now has 6 churches.

The Free Methodist churches in Thailand are actively engaged in holistic ministries – reaching out to the lost with the hope of Jesus and endeavoring to meet the needs of the poor as well. A variety of means are used: teaching English as a Second Language, friendship evangelism, planting churches and standing strong in the midst of Buddhist opposition.
